how would it make sense without getting an admission offer first?

In case one doesn't get in, it still helps if he/she reapplies the following year. Gosh! I don't even want to think about reapplying - so much time has gone into this already. May be I am better off achieving whatever I want to achieve without an MBA!

"it ain't over until it's over!"..you anyways should not worry too much... u have a UCLA admit... which i know quiet a few of us don't have...so u are still in a better boat than many out here...

Agreed it is almost 10 months since I started working towards the GMAT. For us wait-listed candidates it is harder as we also provide additional updates with a hope to get in !!

I think being a waitlist from R1 gives the adcom an additional opportunity to know more about the candidate...Qualities like patience, bouncing back when you are down, etc., can be easily gauged by waitlisting candidates in R1.

if that were the case, I'd be more optimistic. unfortunately however, I feel they just use the waitlist heavily so they can compare the largest # of applicants all at once... basically re-evaluating us with the same metrics they did in R1, but this time against the R2 folks.

in some ways that is more fair because the chances for each round become more equal, something they kept echoing at the info sessions.

Like they say that they don't judge you on just one aspect of the application, they do so holistically.So I think its a bit of everything combined. In any case, we are just going to speculate right up to 26th March!

Do you guys think the Adcom would have already selected admitted candidates for round 2 or they will wait till last week?Are they still interviewing? Any idea?I am just anxious after being WLd in R1! Another 12 days or so of anxiety.

by the way, i was reading the previous year's waitlist discussions and saw that the status for a few folks had changed from "waitlist" to "file under review".has the status of anyone's application changed to "file under review"? mine still says "waitlist"....
